Tijuana still holds many chauvinistic attitudes, but rarely will there be any outright harassment. Racism exists, the lighter skinned tend to be more dominant in the city. Don't be shocked if you are called "negro,"(black) or "moreno,"(brown). There is much less political correctness here. - Apr 2011
